Regular Split Lock Washer with Hot-Dipped Galvanized Plating – Rugged, Corrosion-Resistant Fastening You Can Rely On

When your application faces the elements, regular split lock washers with hot-dipped galvanized (HDG) plating deliver the rugged performance you need. Designed for outdoor and heavy-duty environments, these washers combine the classic mechanical locking action of a split washer with the superior corrosion resistance of a thick zinc coating.

Manufactured from medium carbon steel, these washers are heat-treated for added durability and designed to provide reliable tension in bolted assemblies. The helical split design creates spring tension under the fastener head or nut, helping resist loosening from vibration or thermal expansion. The hot-dip galvanizing process applies a heavy zinc layer that’s ideal for outdoor exposure, marine environments, and corrosive atmospheres, often outperforming standard zinc or plain finishes.
